Biden to preside over Senate gun control votes

Vice President Biden said he will go to the Capitol to preside over the Senate’s Wednesday gun control votes, which he implied the White House won’t win.

“This is a pretty important day,” Biden said. “In about 30 minutes I’ve got to get out of this seat and preside over the U.S. Senate on a very important vote.”

Biden made the announcement during a Google Hangout with four mayors sympathetic to the White House gun control push. He pledged that the White House will continue to push for gun control even after Wednesday’s votes.

“This is going to be a close vote and I can assure you one thing, we’re going to get this eventually,” Biden said. “If we don’t get this today, we’ll get this eventually.”
